Brian is a veteran of conservative politics -- at first in his home state of New York, and later in his adopted state of Virginia. Brian put in 10 years in the House of Representatives, pushing for smaller government and lower taxes. He worked as a lobbyist, speechwriter, and ice cream maker before turning to new media and online conservative advocacy. He’s written at the Weekly Standard blog, RedState.com, and the Washington Times. In his spare time, Brian roots for the New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals, and still finds time to make the occasional batch of mint chocolate chip.
